Keep failing every single interview Forum

HK isn't bad per se. But the feeling that I got was that there was an expectation that you would spend the rest of your career in HK and it didn't seem that common for people to transfer or lateral out of HK. But I'm not sure if I ultimately want to settle in HK, especially as I don't have any family and few friends in HK.

I'm a little mystified at you getting multiple HK offers if you don't really have ties there. Presumably you do speak Mandarin, though? If you don't speak Mandarin and are still getting HK offers despite being pretty tepid about it, then you must be doing something well enough in your interviews.

My impression is that HK work tends to mainly be capital markets, and that while your options on return are somewhat limited they are by no means terrible, especially if you only spend a year or so there.

I do speak Mandarin and I have some UK ties/background, so I think that helped.
